one wintry night {giveaway}

12:00 AM

One wintry night Dad made a warm fire while I prepared homemade hot cocoa on the stove. A fire and hot cocoa just seem to be the perfect remedy to a chilly evening. With the warm glow nearby and warm chocolate in hand, it was time to curl up with hand knit blankets to watch a Christmas movie together. Ah, cozy, inviting, and heart warming, isn't it?

That's exactly the feeling I got when I read One Wintry Night by Ruth Bell Graham. When young Zeb Morris decided to take a hike through the woods, he wasn't planning on a bad snowstorm or a hurt ankle. However, a kind grandmother not only nursed his swollen ankle but told him the Christmas story from creation to resurrection. It was a wintry night he would never forget. I'm so happy to add this lovely book to my Christmas books collection!

Giveaway

I have one copy of One Wintry Night up for giveaway courtesy of Tommy Nelson! Giveaway is open to U.S. addresses only and ends this Thursday, December 13th at 9 pm CST when random number generator will choose one winner.

Other than reading Luke 2 on Christmas morning, we don't have any Christmas book traditions. Ours have been more movie traditions with some classic favorites like Rudolph and It's a Wonderful Life. I'd love to start reading a few though.

About me

Creativity, adventure, family and love are a few of my favorite things. I have spent the last 22 years traveling the world in search of them. My husband and I co-founded, along with a friend, an organization called Ten Thousand Homes, a non-profit building futures and homes. In 2016, I started a social enterprise called The Reverie Guesthouse. I believe we can change the world. I have two beautiful children who teach me everyday. I enjoy writing and the occasional photo.
